10 Things You Should Not Do On A Date
6. Don’t show up shabby
You may not be expected to dress up like a million dollars, but keeping a smart dress code always works. Your date will definitely not appreciate you sporting a “just-out-of-the-bed” look. Also, keep in mind that if it is your first date, you will be judged by the first impression you make, which makes your dressing all the more crucial.
7. Don’t carry super expensive gifts
This is a date, not an anniversary dinner. Carrying expensive gifts can embarrass your date or make him feel obliged and awkward. Save the expensive tokens for a later time, when your date eventually ends up blossoming into a relationship. For the initial period, a box of chocolates would suffice.
8. Don’t start your sob story
Even if you start feeling that the conversation between you both is at ease and very comfortable, don’t spill the beans of your sob story until you meet the same guy a few more times. This way you will save yourself of being hurt by not giving the opposite person an opportunity to make fun of you or play with your feelings.
9. Don’t bitch about anyone
It’s a small world out there and you may never know that your enemy can turn out to be your date’s best friend. Keep a tight control over whom you speak ill of.
10. Don’t drink too much alcohol
Even if you have a huge appetite for alcohol, control the number of drinks you have because sometimes having eight pints of beer or five glasses of wine can simply send out a wrong signal.
Keep your first date simple, clean, fun and generic. Take the next step on the next date and discuss how you felt about the dating experience. By knowing what not to do on a date, not only will you make a good impression but also have more chances of getting a second date with the same person and let it blossom into a beautiful relationship.
